Walkways at Dixon are one of the most important elements in the gardens. Not only do they make walking easier around the perimeter of the South Lawn (especially in inclement weather), but they also beckon you to each separate garden room and little hidden places featuring seasonal plantings, an antique bench, or statuary. Some walks are curved and some are straight, and usually are constructed of brick or pea gravel.
Above and below are the terraced brick walkways joining the first garden room I showed you, and the one I will share after this. In the photo above you can see the restored, 19th century cast iron fountain that is the focal point in the distance (please enlarge this photo for a better view).
I hope that you are enjoying a nice weekend. We are spending time with my father today, and then I'm looking forward to catching up with each of you.

They'd have to tear me away if we had gardens like this in Jackson. When I lived in Rennes, France... I used to spend the summer weekends lounging at the Thabor Gardens. I miss those days! But I hope to have a nice garden of my own very soon. (Never as nice as these though... )
Again, more achingly beautiful photos. Thank you for sharing with us.
Have a continued lovely time, with your father.

These photos are stunning (as usual!) I'm not familiar with Dixon Gardens, but after seeing your pictures I wish it was someplace I had seen personally while I lived in Memphis!
